柴可夫斯基:四季,作品37
穆索斯基:展覽會之畫(鋼琴版)
貝瑞.道格拉斯 鋼琴獨奏
知名鋼琴家貝瑞道格拉斯的新專輯收錄兩首1870年中期最受歡迎的俄羅斯浪漫鋼琴作品.
柴可夫斯基四季(1875~76)的十二個樂章中以抒情主義為核心, 是他受到音樂雜誌Nouvelliste的委託所寫, 按月出版一首並配上詩意的題字. 他叫他的僕人在每月的固定一天提醒他該做的事, 然後一次就完成一個樂章. 每個樂章反映出不同月份的特性, 曲風簡單並帶著內心自省的心情.
不同於四季是由個別的音樂寫作成果所驅動完成的, 展覽會之畫(1874)是穆索夫斯基在參觀一位過世的朋友Viktor Hartmann的畫展而激發的創作. 貝瑞道格拉斯以細心和同理心來演奏這首在俄羅斯浪漫主義中的一個受歡迎的類別, 而且技術要求嚴格的追思曲目.
Two of the most popular romantic Russian piano works from the mid-1870s are heard on this new album from the celebrated Barry Douglas.
Lyricism lies at the heart of the twelve movements of Tchaikovsky's The Seasons (1875 – 76), commissioned by the periodical Nouvelliste to appear monthly, accompanied by poetic epigraphs. Tchaikovsky got his servant to remind him of his duty on a certain day in the month, and composed each piece in a single sitting. Each reflects characteristics of a different month, the style is simple, the mood introspective.
While the poetic aspect of The Seasons was prompted by the individual musical contributions, Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) was provoked by a visit which Mussorgsky made to an exhibition of sketches and paintings by his late friend Viktor Hartmann. The technically demanding memorial, a popular genre in Russian romanticism, is here played thoughtfully and sympathetically by Barry Douglas.
